HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnamese troops evacuated thousands of people from their homes in the north of the country on Sunday due to threats of flash flooding and landslides, as the death toll from Typhoon Conson rose to more than 70.

Typhoon Conson was downgraded to a tropical storm as it hit northern Vietnam late on Saturday after battering the Philippines and the southern Chinese island of Hainan over the past week.

State-run Voice of Vietnam radio said the army had sent 3,500 soldiers to help evacuate people in coastal provinces, and others were being moved from dangerous areas in four mountainous provinces due to the threat of flooding.

The region lies far from Vietnam's Mekong Delta food basket in the south, which supplies 90 percent of rice for exports.

Typhoons and tropical storms regularly hit the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam in the second half of the year, gathering strength from the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean or South China Sea before normally weakening over land.

Voice of Vietnam said three naval ships had also arrived in an area near the Paracels archipelago in the South China Sea to search for six missing fishermen.

The government said a person had drowned while swimming in the northern province of Thanh Hoa and 11 people, including the six fishermen, were missing.

A child also drowned when a barge capsized in the northern province of Quang Ninh, a local newspaper said in an online report (www.baoquangninh.com.vn).

Vietnam Airlines said it would resume operations on Sunday and planned extra flights to help passengers from the 10 flights it cancelled on Saturday.

The Philippines was the worst hit by Conson, and on Sunday raised the death toll to 68, with 84 people still missing. Two people were killed in China.

Benito Ramos, head of the civil defence office in the Philippines, said most of those killed had drowned after 40 fishing boats sank. He said Conson caused minimal damage to infrastructure and farm production.

Only 2,500 people remained at temporary shelter areas after nearly 30,000 homes were either destroyed or damaged by flooding and strong winds, Ramos said. (Editing by Jeremy Laurence)

67 maut taufan Conson membadai Filipina


BEBERAPA anggota penyelamat menarik mayat seorang mangsa
di Teluk Manila semalam selepas taufan Conson melanda Filipina pada Selasa.

MANILA - Sekurang-kurangnya 67 penduduk Filipina disahkan maut manakala 87 lagi masih hilang akibat taufan Conson melanda utara negara itu Selasa lalu, kata jurucakap Majlis Penyelarasan Bencana Negara di sini semalam.

Angka korban dijangka lebih tinggi kerana pihak pengawal pantai dilaporkan menemui banyak lagi mayat bergelimpangan di perairan Teluk Manila dan Bicol di Pulau Luzon yang dipenuhi tumpahan minyak daripada beberapa paip dasar laut yang pecah.

Conson yang bererti tapak bersejarah dalam bahasa Vietnam kini menghampiri Pulau Hainan di wilayah selatan China selepas membadai Vietnam kelmarin dan menyebabkan pihak berkuasa negara itu mengarahkan 40,000 penduduk segera berpindah.

Namun pihak Pentadbiran Meteorologi China berkata, tiupan angin taufan tropika itu dikesan semakin lemah tetapi dijangka mengakibatkan bahagian pantai di timur China mengalami hujan lebat secara berterusan selama 24 jam. - Agensi

Korban Taufan Conson kini 76 orang

MANILA 20 Julai - Angka korban akibat Taufan Conson di Filipina meningkat kepada 76 orang hari ini berikutan pasukan penyelamat menemui lebih banyak mayat yang terapung di laut.


Bagaimanapun berpuluh-puluh lagi masih dilaporkan hilang dan dikhuatiri mati.
Seramai 72 orang masih hilang ketika pengawal pantai dan bot-bot tentera laut bekerjasama dengan pesawat di udara untuk mencari mangsa di air selepas hampir seminggu taufan itu melanda, menurut Majlis Penyelaras Bencana Kebangsaan.

"Operasi mencari dan menyelamat masih diteruskan selagi ada orang hilang," kata ketua jabatan pejabat pertahanan awam, Relan Asuncion.

Menurut pihak berkuasa, angka kematian meningkat daripada 68 orang tetapi jumlah mereka yang hilang menurun berbanding 84 orang yang dilaporkan awal semalam.

Taufan Conson melanda Manila pada 13 Julai lalu ketika menuju ke arah barat Laut China Selatan dengan kekuatan yang dianggap oleh peramal kaji cuaca sebagai 'mengejutkan'.

Ia menyebabkan bekalan elektrik di seluruh pulau Luzon terputus, menumbangkan tiang elektrik, pokok dan memusnahkan beribu-ribu kediaman.

Lebih 2,000 orang masih berlindung di pusat perlindungan.

Di China, ribut menyebabkan sekurang-kurangnya dua orang terbunuh manakala di Vietnam seorang terbunuh manakala kira-kira 12 orang dilaporkan hilang. - AFP
